And don’t forget to use your local library. Consider getting rid of one of your streaming services and go rent DVDs for free. Sure you have to wait a bit. But we are trying to break addiction from consumerism. Read a book while you wait for that movie to come out. Start small, but start resisting ✊

I’ve found a lot of power in buying less, boycotting and supporting local businesses. It’s also helped me feel stronger connections in my community. and I’ve used my local credit union instead of a big bank.

Commerce is supporting your local Asian grocer, farmers market, hardware store, agriculture store, local coffee shop and cafes. AVOID big box stores, Amazon, chain food stores.

Commerce is buying what you need from people in your community.
Consumers constantly buy things daily because it creates a dopamine rush. It’s an addiction. And consuming lots of social media is also helping this system.

I think one of the biggest resistance everyone can begin with is reducing their consumerism. They turned us into consumers to prop up this system. They wanted Consumers instead of producers, growers,creators, innovators, artists and thinkers. And commerce is different than consuming.
